It’s ok Laura. Lol. None of us really believed you when you said you weren’t going to do perennials out there. (And are secretly thrilled you didnt stick to that.)

Daylilies are tough as nails! As a southern gardener and an archaeologist I know that they take clay soil and moist soil like a champ. I’ve rarely ever seen them wilt in the heat either. And the plant colonies they form through spreading can last easily over 100 years. I find them still living and blooming at old home sites from the 1800’s all the time. The basic orange variety was popular historically, with yellow less commonly.

My parents have some of the ancestors of George Washington’s daylilies. They were sold at Mount Vernon in the late 90s, and we bought some. They’re still thriving in their backyard in Georgia today. They’re yellow!

Do you know if the orange ones were called "Orange Tiger Lilies" back in the day? I live in Kentucky and these things grow about anywhere. I ask because I can remember my mother and g-mother calling them Tiger Lilies. It seemed they would plant them everywhere, I'm sure because they were free.😊 I have some of these orange lilies that I actually dug up from a ditchline, brought home and planted. It was around 5 plants. There is now a small hedge of them, around 10-12 mounds, they do multiply. I have moved them around my yard multiple times for various reason. I must say they are in bloom now and absolutely stunning.

END OF THE YEAR IDEA - Could you please make a supercut of all Russell’s photobomb’s? It would be a really fun video to see at the end of each December. ☺️ Either way, thank you for this channel, I’ve learned so much!

I'm sure she can, but please note that sterile varieties (most Proven Winners plants) only provide nectar, not pollen or seeds, so they aren't as beneficial to wildlife. It's best to at least have a good mix of natives, non-sterile cultivars and sterile for wildlife.

I would check out the video about Benjamin's pollinator garden she did last year. I'm sure she used a lot of her top choices.

Daylilies are so underrated! When most people think of them it’s the typical orange variety that was in your Memaw’s garden. I have some of the same varieties that you just showed and they are rockstars in our southern AL heat. We are in the mid 90’s with heat indexes of about 105 right now and they handle the weather like champs!

Fun fact: all daylilies come from an orange or yellow parent. Obviously, these are all Proven Winners varieties, but it you want to branch out I highly, highly recommend Oakes Daylilies. The number of varieties they have is incredible, and they send you a free plant with every order. (I’m not affiliated, just a fan)

I have Stella D'Oro daylillies interspersed between my hostas (paradigm) at the front of my house ringing my garden. It's a brilliant show of colours all summer long. I can't say enough good things about these 2 perennials. People stop & stare because they're so pretty & most importantly a happy uplifting colour to have in your garden. I think if you can brighten someone's day with your garden, that's fulfilling. ☺️🌱💖

That deep purple one is amazing! Can’t wait to see them blooming🌺💜💜

Even when life brings us down and discouraged - watching Laura planting brings us all JOY in the morning, which is a positive way to start the day (after devotions) I adore these additions - the colors are so wonderful. 🌺🌺🌷🌷🌸🌸🌸🌸🌷🌷🌺🌺🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

I want to be Laura’s friend, and pick up all the plants she can’t move 🥰

We are under a heat advisory in Mississippi. 100 degrees 🥵. So jealous of your 2 layers 😆

Love Daylilies they are great here in my zone 3. The rabbits and deer don’t touch them at all. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Beautiful day lily flowers and plants ❤️

For daylilies, there are over 80,000 named varieties. I grow a lot of them and had rabbits nesting in that garden. They never ate any of them. Now deer on the other hand love them!

Daylilies are my favorite ❤ What beautiful varieties!!!!

The editing and post production on this video was just great! It takes something that would already be fun to watch to a new level! Your videos are so polished and professional! Great job Ken/Aaron!

The day lilies are a work horse. “Set it and forget it”. Just hope the cats stay out of them. 💚💚💚

Hi garden friends, been watching Laura for years and love everything she does. Looking forward to seeing how everything evolves in her garden over the years!!! Garden tour, and drone videos…please!!😃

Can’t wait to see all that you have done via the drone, it is all looking great, I have tree envy as I have no space to plant trees

I planted three of those daylily varieties last year: Storm Shelter, Sound of my Heart and King of Ages. Love all three of them. Sound of my Heart blooms first, followed shortly by Storm Shelter and then King of the Ages a few weeks later. This is my second season with them so I hope they bloom twice like you said. Last year they didn’t. Sound of my Heart has so many bloom stalks right now and Storm Shelter is getting them as well. So excited because I love them so much!! I am hoping Sound of my Heart will bloom soon because my Midnight Masquerade is blooming right behind it. So beautiful!! 😍😍😍

Oh my goodness those are just gorgeous. Everything is looking so wonderful there. You guys give us so much knowledge, inspiration and motivation for our own gardens. Thank you for that. 💖

Jungle weather in Michigan. All over the stat sheets-- hot, cold, wet, dry. Blink and it changes!

I have a big bunch in a FULLshade area. Almost zero sun. I don't get blooms but the grassy texture is a beauty back drop.

These will be gorgeous! I keep doing the math though…11 x ~$20 in the one area alone! I absolutely realize that this is a business (thank you!), but not many of us can plant over $500 in flowers daily. I’m one of those living vicariously through you! (I’d have to buy 2 of each one and then wait to divide them over a few years to get drifts that big!)

Good morning Garden Answer friends! I have bought last year similar color & style Proven winners day lily's. These really are quite beautiful! I put 2 in large flower pots down at the base of our driveway in full sun & they did very well. They have come back, I think deer may have nibbled on one at beginning of Spring but it is rebounding nicely. Thanks for the video & continuing to share your labor of love Laura and Aaron. Your landscape is coming together nicely.

Fifteen years of growing daylilies with no problems. Last year the deer decided to eat every daylily bud & bloom in the front ya4rd. In 2 nights they ate almost 70! Talk abour disappointment! This year all the front yard daylilies are covered with netting.

I can hardly wait to see your garden tour this summer ... especially Aaron's overhead views ... they give such a great perspective!!

Greetings from New Zealand! You've been super inspiring for me as I've just started to sow seeds and design and plan my garden this year. I'm in zone 9a and just started winter so sometimes the information doesn't 100% apply to me at this moment but it's still super interesting and fun to watch! I thought I wanted a super low maintenance garden for the last 2 years but since watching you I've genuinely fell in love with gardening, caring for plants, the design aspect and all. Thanks for all the content!

Can you do a video on top 10 picks for a super fragrant garden? Can be vines, bushes, small and large plants, annual, perennials, anything! I really want more fragrant plants in my garden but want ones that last and that are worth planting. Looks like Daylily will be one of them for me! Thanks!

Not all daylilies are fragrant, so you want to look for that in the description.

Hey! Not that you’ll probably end up seeing this, but two videos I’d love to see: one just about at what times of year you cut different things back. We have a bunch of things in our garden that have just been there for years and we don’t have tags, and I never know if I should cut it back at some point. I always notice things only have buds on new growth and I wish I cut them before! Otherwise, I’d just love to see a tour of all the machines you seem to have! Maybe it could be an Aaron video :)

How funny that you’re getting a cool off this weekend and here in Minnesota it’s gonna be in the 90s.

Generally I'm not a fan of daylillies, but you've definitely changed my mind! All of the varieties are gorgeous! And will look stunning in your gardens for sure. 🙂

Laura changes my mind on a lot of plants. My kids see me buying something new and can't believe I bought it because I've always said I didn't like them. "Well, I saw it on Garden Answer and now I do!" I think learning about them and seeing them planted alongside a good companion plant makes a big difference. I guess it's understanding the plant variety.😄☺️🌼❤️

Thanks Laura! You provide motivation for me to get out of my garden each day. I love the day lilies and I'm thinking about going to the nursery and picking up a few of the more interesting ones especially the ones that bloom twice. I love having something in bloom every week.

They are all so beautiful. Can't wait to see them bloom.

Perfect timing for your video! I just visited a daylily farm with acres and acres of day lilies ! Bought 7 beautiful plants for our zone 9 full sun front yard. Amador flower farm in Plymouth CA and they ship!!!

My mind may have been changed on daylilies. Deep purple and diamonds!

Planting and then rain... its just the perfect combo 👌

Morning! This reminds me of childhood. My Grandma had a "lily ring" that stood about waist high with beautiful orange flowers. The varieties now are simply stunning. Thank you for bringing back memories 😊🌳🌿🌼

Laura, loved your video on daylilies. I have over 300 different colors in my gardens. As of 2018, there were over 80,000 registered daylilies. I think their would probably be a color for everyone's taste. Daylilies like moisture, but they don't like wet feet, so well drained soil is a must. They like moisture , but they are drought tolerant.

I love it! Daylilies are second only to roses for me. I have thousands of the old orange ones. I use them as side foundation plants under my very low windows, a side border in the front, and a ring around some trees. The bloom season is glorious. I do have to deadhead in the front yard. There are other clumps ( hundreds) of hybrids. Siloam Peony is DEFINITELY coming to my rose garden.
